Here you can find out which materials make up a sauna.
Relaxation…? Is most beautiful in your own sauna home!
Sauna materials: wood and stone elements
The main material of a sauna is the wood used for the loungers and for the interior cladding of the cabin. The different types of wood differ in appearance, feel and smell. Wood such as spruce, aspen, oak or hemlock are often used – but the choice is much larger with over 100 different sauna woods. We will be happy to advise you and select your personal wish wood together with you. All information about SAUNA WOOD >
In order to visually enhance the sauna, salt walls or stone wall elements can also be installed, for example. A stone wall behind the stove also has the advantage that any splashes of water leave no stains in case of strong sauna infusions.
Sauna design with glass elements
In order to make your desired sauna a real eye-catcher and to give you a “wide view” from the inside, you should not neglect the topic of glass: Especially with a design sauna, people like to work with a lot of glass in order to achieve a lightness and transparency in terms of design.
For the sauna doors 8 mm thick ESG (single-pane safety glass) is used here, for the rest 10 mm ESG glass is used. There are hardly any limits to your design ideas, regardless of whether the glass is to be framed or frameless and floor-deep. We look forward to your ideas and wishes, which we are happy to accept as a challenge!
Sauna lighting: LED, wall lights, starry sky
The light is a very important design element: only with a well thought-out lighting concept is the sauna perfectly staged and the entire ambience is enhanced. We recommend high-quality LED lighting systems, which are specially manufactured for sauna construction and can withstand the extreme stresses of heat and humidity. The lighting is dimmable and depending on the bulb used, color changes are also possible to positively influence the mood. There are also wall lights to choose from or a starry sky can be installed in the sauna ceiling. Let us advise you!
Sauna material: No metal in the sauna
No metal objects are used in the equipment of a sauna, as the metal in the sauna heats up too much, so that one could burn up very quickly during contact with it.
Since we have our corso sauna, I am much more relaxed.
Construction: How is the sauna wall structured?
We are also happy to give you a look “behind” the sauna cladding:
At the corso sauna manufactory, the saunas are built with a sturdy frame wood underconstruction, which give the entire sauna a special strength. In the case of the sauna in element construction, a high-quality thermal insulation made of rock wool with additional aluminium vapour barrier is introduced into this frame construction.
The connection of the wall elements is obscured so that no fittings are visible. The side walls stand on a height-adjustable base frame, so that floor unevenness can be compensated. This prevents moisture from penetrating the wood. The sauna must be set up at a distance from the room wall to ensure back ventilation! Further information: SAUNASIZE >
Sauna without floor
The sauna cabin is delivered without floor, i.e. it is placed on the existing floor at your site. You can read which floor is suitable here: SAUNA PLANNING INDOOR >
